A world critical of gun control in the U.S.
By Deven Bhagwandin, National Monitor | January 23, 2015
Many Americans believe that it is a basic right to bear arms and have vehemently defended this right in the past, despite growing statistics highlighting the instances of deaths by firearms every year. According to the Council on Foreign Relations the United States, “with less than 5 percent of the world’s population, has about 35-50 percent of the world’s civilian owned guns.” The Council on Foreign Relations also reports that the “United States also has the highest homicide-by-firearm rate among the world’s most developed nations, though some analysts say these statistics do not necessarily have a cause and effect relationship.”
The consensus view from abroad is that the United States will never do anything to actually prevent atrocities such as mass shootings from occurring again. “No American politician is brave enough to propose a cure to this repetitive insanity, which would be a sensible and responsible new attitude towards the ownership and use of guns,” blasts British reporter Brian Masters.

Though it may be true that the shadow of crisis in this country has passed and the state of the union is strong—as President Obama claimed during his address last Tuesday—America’s lack of effective gun control policies remains an enduring weakness. The murder of Dr. Davidson and others in the Boston area stands testament to that damning flaw. It’s time to talk about guns again.
